Mirandy reflects on Miss Sage the rich donor and how charity becomes a snare. She mocks reliance on earthly Providence and warns that gifts to the poor breed dependence, arguing colleges and missions may prosper while individuals remain trapped by gratitude and unearned support.
The essay condemns extravagant suffrage rhetoric, praising Julia Ward Howe and Stanton while arguing women should focus on reducing crime and reforming prisons. It cites Mrs Cory in London, cites the guillotine symbol, and urges science based reform and motherhood’s influence over future generations. It closes with a hopeful call for women to pursue freedom through constructive action rather than execution.
An aged commentary argues against discrimination in women’s employment. It cites civil war history, the rise of the civil service, and women’s honesty and adaptability, noting physical limits and the need to assign tasks by competence rather than sex.
In a tale from the Milwaubee Journal, Willie creeps downstairs on Christmas morning and mixes up gifts for family members. He swaps labels and delivers the mistaken packages, provoking Grandpa’s gifts of a drum and horn, Bittie Jack’s pipe and cane, and a harsh fatherly reaction. The scene ends with Willie receiving a whipping as Santa Claus is blamed for the spree.

The author recalls London life, Sunday Tramps, Meredith’s demeanor, and the collaboration of Stephen and Meredith in 19th century literary circles, with personal recollections of meetings and debates.
The article recalls brutal pasts of old poor houses and notes a shift toward humane care. It cites reduced pauper rates from 1880 to today, with better treatment in hospitals and asylums, church and fraternal homes, and new charitable efforts by lodges to aid the indigent and aged.
About 200 inmates at Henshaw's Blind Asylum in Manchester heard a Daily Mail special edition for the blind read aloud at tea. The governor Mr M M H Tlingworth said the inmates show keen interest in field sports and know the players, with some recalling every match detail.
A sermon recounts a desert journey parable about a sheik who neglects provision and is saved by compassionate care. It extols the gospel of good cheer as a remedy for hardship and urges readers to offer kindness and encouragement to others faced with life’s trials.
A humorous piece in a slangy dialect about social foibles and the popular motives of the day. It parodies the values of a society swayed by work, charm, and politics. A brief domestic scene hints at parental disapproval of late nights and behavior.
A fragmenting verse by William F. Kirk depicts panic of shoppers in a store with women flooding aisles, clerks cussing, and a comes-to-market joke about ten cents of ruching.
